I'd fully agree with that.  Most of the "bitcoin taggers" seem just to 
be using OSM for a form of SEO and to appear on Coinmap - they don't 
seem interested in recording anything other than the magic word 
"bitcoin" or even recording those details accurately.

I am aware of exactly one brick-and-mortar business that allegedly takes 
bitcoin(1), and I've never seen anyone actually paying with it there.

Cheers,

Andy
